My first car was a used 90 Red Ford Probe GT 5 speed manual i got in 2000.. it was a pretty fast car. 2.2L turbo charged four.. the engines in these cars are great..it was so quiet you couldnt here it run. The clutch went out at about 163,000+. Got into a car accident and it was totaled. I really miss that car I would buy one today.
Then I got a 2000 ford focus ZTS 5 speed manual with 63,000 miles.. its still with me It has 188,000+ miles its been a good car ..normal repairs made still runs good.
I bought a 2003 Acura TL-S with 74,650 miles in March 09..the price was good 8,995.. I thought that was a good deal..lovin it shes a keeper.

I had the exact same car. I had 18 inch chrome wheels, tinted all over (including windshield) & a system that would shut down SUV's.......I totalled it on night driving home. Fell asleep @ the wheel! Not a scratch on me but the passenger front tire ended up in the passenger footwell. Luckily I was alone!

2005 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro 6 speed. K04 turbo upgrade, Stage 3 REVO ECU flash, racing downpipe, vibrant dual exhaust with staggered 18 inch DPE wheels. Car was a real beast. Miss her a lot but after warranty, she became worse than my shopping wife. Can't trade in the wife though lol.

I had a hand-me-down cavalier as my first car. I had big dreams for that car... RWD conversion, and an LS9 swap. Yeah.

<-- saw that sitting in the lot taking in the Cav for an oil change and fell in love. Still have and love it.

97 Infiniti I30t...flipped 200K miles, needed new struts, one front axle, and was having emissions issues that I didn't want to deal with, so had to go. Had a great stock Bose sound system. I can tell you that my 03 TL is much easier to work on - more room under the hood. The I30 had a very quiet V6, though, and actually a timing chain instead of belt, so low maintenance.

Before that, Volvo wagon, Isuzu Rodeo, Jeep Cherokee, Isuzu Trooper (bullet proof), a 90 Toyota Celica Supra 5-speed (aaahhh), 83 BMW 318i (fun little 4-banger), and a 76 Olds Cutlass w/ t-tops, mag wheels, and a Hurst paint job.

Before my 2nd gen '01 TL I had a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT Ram Air. Bought it with 32 miles on it, got broadsided at 175,000 by some chick running a red light. Beat the hell out of it and had zero issues.

I had a 96 black Honda Accord LX (cdn EX) lowered on Tein S.Tech, 18" gun metal Enperio. Custom CAI, B&M fuel pressure regulator, JDM type R grill, projector headlights black housing and CF clear taillights.
My sister scratched the bumber and cracked the foglight when the brakes failed and she was on a overpass. The car hasn't moved since.
